According to Bianco pers observ in 2000 (Bianco joined the Amman IUCN Congress in 2000 and visited the Oasis and observed the species) the water area in the Oasis Reserve is very scarce, about less than one hectare, and maintained by artificially spilling of water. The species is nearly disappeared mainly as result of introduced tilapia, Sarotherodon galileus, which dominate in the Oasis. The species was maintained in the Reserve by captive breeding and tentatively reintroduced in the wild. It is now probably extinct in the wild, and for a success restocking, aliens species should be previously eradicated.

Cyanobacteria Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are microscopic organisms found in both marine and fresh water environments. Under favorable conditions of sunlight, temperature, and nutrient concentrations, cyanobacteria can form massive blooms that discolor the water and often result in a scums and floating mats on the water’s surface.

    Endangered Species

    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

    Environmental Biology of Fishes (2005) 73: 97–107 Ó Springer 2005 Relation of desert pupfish abundance to selected environmental variables in natural and manmade habitats in the Salton Sea basin Barbara A. Martin & Michael K. Saiki U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division, Western Fisheries Research Center-Dixon Duty Station, 6924 Tremont Road, Dixon, CA 95620, U.S.A. (e-mail: [email protected]) Received 6 April 2004 Accepted 12 October 2004 Key words: species assemblages, predation, water quality, habitat requirements, ecological interactions, endangered species Synopsis We assessed the relation between abundance of desert pupfish, Cyprinodon macularius, and selected biological and physicochemical variables in natural and manmade habitats within the Salton Sea Basin. Field sampling in a natural tributary, Salt Creek, and three agricultural drains captured eight species including pupfish (1.1% of the total catch), the only native species encountered. According to Bray– Curtis resemblance functions, fish species assemblages differed mostly between Salt Creek and the drains (i.e., the three drains had relatively similar species assemblages). Pupfish numbers and environmental variables varied among sites and sample periods. Canonical correlation showed that pupfish abundance was positively correlated with abundance of western mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis, and negatively correlated with abundance of porthole livebearers, Poeciliopsis gracilis, tilapias (Sarotherodon mossambica and Tilapia zillii), longjaw mudsuckers, Gillichthys mirabilis, and mollies (Poecilia latipinna and Poecilia mexicana). In addition, pupfish abundance was positively correlated with cover, pH, and salinity, and negatively correlated with sediment factor (a measure of sediment grain size) and dissolved oxygen. Pupfish abundance was generally highest in habitats where water quality extremes (especially high pH and salinity, and low dissolved oxygen) seemingly limited the occurrence of nonnative fishes.

    2.7.–7.7. 2017 / Olomouc, CZ ABSTRACT BOOK Keynote – Presentation IMPLICATIONS OF GLOBAL CHANGE FOR AQUATIC COMMUNITIES: DO MICRO-EVOLUTIONARY SHIFTS IN POPULATION FUNCTIONAL TRAITS MAKE A DIFFERENCE? Steven Declerk ([email protected])1 1 Netherlands Institute of Ecology, Wageningen, NL By most ecologists, species are considered as entities with fixed traits because rates of evo- lutionary adaptations are believed to be much slower than the rate of ecological dynamics. However, it is only in the latest years that an increasing number of ecologists come to re- alize that microevolutionary adaptation can take place at ecological time scales. Although microevolutionary trait shifts may seem small and insignificant in magnitude compared to the large trait changes that are documented for macro-evolutionary time scales, they may still be of considerable importance from an ecological perspective, as they may strongly determine the performance of contemporary populations and their interactions with the biotic and abiotic environment. This is especially relevant in the context of current glob- al change, with anthropogenic impacts that cause the biotic and abiotic environment of organisms to change at unprecedented rates. In this talk, I will introduce the concept of eco-evolutionary dynamics, illustrate its relevance for aquatic systems with a variety of examples and try to address the question whether such dynamics may effectively contrib- ute to a better understanding of the response of aquatic biota to anthropogenic pressures. 2 ABSTRACT BOOK / 2.7.–7.7. 2017 / OLOMOUC, CZ 3 Keynote – Presentation Keynote – Presentation SERENDIPIDY IN SCIENCE – 35 YEARS STUDYING A TROPICAL MICROBIAL NITRIFICATION IN URBAN STREAMS: FROM SINGLE LAKE CELL ACTIVITY TO ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES David Harper ([email protected])1 Stephanie N.

Specimens were sampled by a shore seine net from Lake Eğirdir (A. iconii), Lake Salda (A. saldae), Lake Burdur (A. sureyanus) and Lake Acıgöl (A. transgrediens) during 2014-2015. A total of 1246 specimens are examined (A. iconii: n=206; A. saldae: n=525; A. sureyanus: n= 350; A. transgrediens: n=165). The maximum age for A. iconii, A. saldae and A. sureyanus was 4 years and for A. transgrediens was 5 years. The values of the b parameter of the length- weight equations for A.transgrediens, A. saldae, A. sureyanus and A. iconii populations are 3.027, 2.587, 3.221 and 2.713, respectively. A new maximum total length of 6.1 cm for A. transgrediens is reported. Key words: Anatolia; endemic species; killifish; Aphaniidae; Cyprinodontidae; length-weight relationship; age.

    Production of Aphanius Mento (Heckel, 1843) Under Controlled Conditions

    Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation OPEN ACCESS International Journal of the Bioflux Society Research Article Production of Aphanius mento (Heckel, 1843) under controlled conditions 1Soner Sezen, 2Murtaza Olmez 1 Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock Mediterranean Fisheries Research Production and Training, Antalya, Turkey. 2 Suleyman Demirel University Egirdir Fisheries Faculty, Isparta, Turkey. Abstract. In this study, it was aimed to determine the adaptation capability to controlled conditions, reproductive behaviors, and production of Aphanius mento caught from Kirkgoz Springs, Antalya. Fish material for broodstock were caught using fine mesh tulle net and bag net with 2.5 mm mesh size. Twenty five female and 10 male breeding fish acclimated to experimental conditions in Aquarium Department Unit of Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock Mediterranean Fisheries Research Production and Training Institute were spawned by providing egg collec- tors to the tank. Aphanius mento eggs were spherical, transparent and sticky. Examination with the microscope revealed that the eggs were full of pale yellow egg yolk with 7-8 lipid droplets and had fibrous sticking filaments on the surface. The average egg diameter was 1.59±0.50 mm (n=8). Hatching were observed at 11th day at 22.5±1.0ºC water temperature whereas at 8th day at 27.0±0.45ºC. Total length of newly hatched larvae was 5.1±0.07 mm, and swimming were competed at 4th day. Average size of one-week larvae was 5.6±0.2 mm. At this stage fins were fully developed, the larvae were able to swim freely and take exogenous food. Mean length of the fish was 2.7±0.2 cm on 7th month and a ju- venile fish had an appearance of morphologically mature fish.
